Thank you for the how-to. I have never made any jewelry before but often have thought about it. What I really want to know about is that great Airstream trailer. It's yours, correct? I think I recall you posting about it before. It's so, so cool and so southern California! I love it. xo, A

Adrienne, you of all people should make some jewelry...it's creative, you get to wear the piece and you can have a one of a kind piece for a fraction of what mass retailers charge! I'm rooting for you my dear...I would love to see you explore this arena!

Wo do have a fabulous Airstream, but this one has a permanent home in the uber cool retail collection at the camp in Costa Mesa. I love all Airstreams and photograph them when ever I see them. this one is actually a store that sells plants by day. I took this photo from an upcoming post about the 'camp'.

I love "how-to" posts like these, especially when they are detailed enough, and simple enough that I think I may actually be able to do this! I have a couple of necklaces that need to be repaired, and I'm thinking I should just go buy myself my own flat nosed pliers and jump rings and do it myself. Sigh, I love an Airstream!!!

Hey Lovely!! Loving this post!! I have recently repaired several pieces of jewelry with my pliers/rings/lobster claw clasps and thought, I need to do more of this!! This is a fabulous tutorial and it truly is simple to create wonderful, meaningful pieces as you say. So, the Airstream? Yours? Gorgeous flowers all around?!!

One of my sisters (I have two) lived in an Airstream trailer for a number of years in southern Oregon. This is the same sister who, at the age of 64, goes backpacking by herself for weeks on her vacation and goes swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii. I'm in awe. I suspect that you, my glamping friend, understands my need for creature comforts. Some of us (like me!!!) are just not cut out for survival backpacking. I love your version of the Airstream.
